If I knew I could never come back to Ireland, to England, I think I'd fall off the tree.
I am a sick, pathetic, immoral, alcoholic, sexually perverse, lost man, who is having a crisis of confidence in Mexico City.
I'd love to do 'The Expendables.' It's just a kick in the pants.
I'm first and foremost an Irishman, by birth, by nature, by soul, but an American citizen through and through as well.
If you want to do a female version of 'The Expendables,' I'll be in that one.
The films that I've made with my company Irish DreamTime are close to my heart. 'The Greatest' being one of them, and 'Evelyn' being another.
You want to believe in leaders, really believe in leaders. You want what they are saying to be truthful, and you want to trust them.
The Danes and the Irish have a great simpatico, that's for sure.
I'd my own insecurities while portraying the role of James Bond.
I love George Clooney; I think George is brilliant.
I'm very confident that Nick Hornby always gets it right as a writer. He has the vernacular and passion. He is adroit and dry, and balances humor with the humanity of life.
It never felt real to me. I never felt I had complete ownership over Bond. Because you'd have these stupid one-liners - which I loathed - and I always felt phony doing them.
My mother was the prettiest woman in the town. He was a bit older than her. They made me. And he split.
Dark comedy is very difficult. You have to bring the audience in and push them away at the same time.
